X-ray Computed Tomography for Materials & Life Sciences

X-ray CT has become an essential tool for geological sample analysis. You will see many application examples in this webinar, including the analysis of cracks, pores, inclusions, and phase quantification of rocks and drill cores. We also introduce available resources for pore network analysis that can be applied to rock CT scans.

In this webinar, you will see 3D views of the structures of a reptile, insects, and a mouse, including their stained organs. You will also learn how to deal with unique challenges in life science sample preparation and how to conduct quantitative analyses.

This webinar presents the basics of metrology analysis and a number of X-ray CT application examples. Examples include size and shape measurements of metal and plastic parts, tolerancing evaluation, comparison of nominal (CAD) and actual (CT) or a golden standard, and a test subject. We also introduce available resources to learn more about X-ray CT metrology. 

In this webinar, you will learn the keys to successful 4D and in-situ X-ray CT measurements and how to plan experiments. You will also see many examples of applications, including the observation of foam under compression, the drug degradation process, and the seed germination process. 

In this webinar, you will learn sample preparation techniques for life science samples. These samples typically require preservation to ensure that ‘as lifelike as possible’ CT data can be collected. These samples typically have low-density contrast and thus benefit from staining. You will see different preparation techniques and application examples.

In this episode, we will discuss how X-ray computed tomography (CT) can non-destructively access these internal structures, voids, cracks, as well as the external shape. Dimensional inspection including actual to nominal comparison, section thickness,  mechanical load distribution of final product, as well as metal powder morphology are characterized for both qualitative visual inspection and quantitative analysis. Analysis examples from various AM feedstock, such as polymer, metal, and ceramic will be discussed.
